Before leaving, drivers should check the interactive road map on
FL511com for real-time traffic information and incident alerts in
English or Spanish. They can also view roadway cameras showing nearby
current driving conditions on their route. The free Florida 511 mobile
app, available on the Apple App Store or Google (News - Alert) Play, features an
interactive map showing traffic speeds and incidents on roads around the
user's location and offers a statewide view as well. The best feature of
the app is Drive Mode, allowing motorists to use the app in a hands-free
manner.
Drivers can register on the website for alerts and routes. On the phone,
drivers can put in an origin or destination to get a route to their
destinations. Route-specific text and email alerts can include travel
speeds, travel time estimates and information about congestion,
construction and incidents.
Additional ways to receive traffic information from Florida 511 include
calling 511 toll-free from any phone in the state and/or following one
or more of the statewide, regional or roadway-specific Twitter (News - Alert) feeds
(#FL511), such as @FL511_State.
In addition to information about what's happening on Florida's roadways,
the 511 phone system also provides free transfers to Florida's airports.
FDOT encourages all drivers to check Florida 511 to travel safely and
experience fewer delays. Check Florida 511 before leaving or have a
passenger check during a trip to avoid using a phone while driving.
Drive Mode allows motorists to use the app in a hands-free manner.
